Chapter 1986: Chapter 1984: Two Men and Two Women—Success or Failure?

[First day of National Day, asking for monthly tickets!!!]

Blood Sea!

Hard to cross!

Lost!

Despair!

No way to find a direction!

When Ye Tianchen and the Black and White Impermanence brothers rode the Ghost Light Ship into the Blood Sea, they quickly entered a region shrouded in a layer of Blood Mist. There, they couldn’t see anything at all, even their Divine Thought found it hard to probe anything. Their field of vision was less than fifty meters. They didn’t know where any direction lay, didn’t know where they should go...

At this moment, Ye Tianchen and the others were suddenly surrounded by four unmanned Ghost Light Ships. Strange sounds echoed in their minds. They guessed these should be the ships that those experts of the past, who had ridden Ghost Light Ships trying to cross the Blood Sea and reach the true Medicine King Valley, had taken. Unfortunately, it seemed they had encountered something and failed!

With no idea what to do, Ye Tianchen, bold and daring, stepped onto one of the unmanned Ghost Light Ships. He wanted to figure out what was going on and also wanted to find a way for them to move forward. But the moment he stepped onto this unmanned Ghost Light Ship, the scene before his eyes changed!

Two men and two women, all with Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation, and all looking very young. At such an age, with such cultivation, they were definitely outstanding figures of the younger generation. It seemed they, too, had entered this region and then become lost, drifting in lonely helplessness for seven days and seven nights. Finally, they could no longer endure this eerie atmosphere and began to panic!

”To think that with the cultivation realm of us four, we’d be trapped in such a tiny Blood Mist region. Damn it!” one of the men said through gritted teeth.

”This isn’t the time to be angry. We have to find a way to either cross this Blood Sea or return!” one of the women said with a frown.

”But we lost our direction the moment we entered this Blood Mist. We can’t find the way out, can’t find the way back. There’s simply nowhere to even start!” the other woman said anxiously.

”I told you this Blood Sea can’t be crossed, that we’d lose our lives. You didn’t listen and insisted on coming. Well? Now we can only wait for death, right?” the other man questioned, somewhat displeased.

”Hey, we four senior and junior siblings all came because we wanted to seek opportunities in Medicine King Valley. No one forced anyone!” the man who had spoken first said, frowning.

”What did you say? If you hadn’t been the one steering just now, how could we have lost our direction? Now we can’t get out, can’t go back—we can only wait for death here. Do you still remember that rumor?” the agitated man said harshly.

”Enough, stop arguing. Now isn’t the time for us to quarrel. We have to think of a way. I don’t want that legend to happen to us...” the woman who had spoken first said, looking somewhat frightened.

”That legend is too terrifying. They say once you get lost in the Blood Sea, you’ll spend your entire life here waiting for death, wandering the Blood Sea over and over. Even after death, your Soul and corpse still have to wander in this Blood Sea. I don’t want to become like that!” the other woman said, seeming on the verge of collapse just from picturing that scene.

Panic!

Ye Tianchen stood behind the two men and two women. It was as if they were at an intersecting point of space: Ye Tianchen could see them, but they could not see Ye Tianchen. Yet Ye Tianchen could feel their panic, their terror. He could understand it, even felt that if he and the Black and White Impermanence brothers were to drift in the Blood Mist of this Blood Sea for seven days and seven nights, they might also collapse, might also feel fear. That was a kind of loneliness and despair from the depths of the heart that no living being could likely endure!

”No, we can’t keep waiting like this. We’ll definitely die. We might as well stake everything on one throw!” the man who had spoken first said.

”What do you want to do?” the woman who had spoken first asked.

”With the strength of the four of us, we can use Qi Manipulation Flight to fly across. As long as our speed is fast enough and our power strong enough, we should be able to break through this Blood Sea. As long as we reach a shore—any shore—we can leave this place!” the man who had spoken first said earnestly.

”Qi Manipulation Flight across the Blood Sea, are you sure about that? The skies above the Blood Sea are filled with powerful Runes. The power within those Runes is such that even if a Saint came, he might not be able to destroy them. If we insist on taking that risk, I think it’d be better to swim across through the Blood Sea. At least inside it is safe, there won’t be any living beings...” the man who had been displeased all along said disdainfully.

”I agree with swimming across the Blood Sea. Though it’s terrifying and hideous, at least there won’t be any danger inside the Blood Sea. Taking to the sky with Qi Manipulation Flight will definitely be incomparably perilous!” the remaining woman nodded and said.

”Is the Blood Sea really destined to be safe? So many corpses and blood of the Ancient Alien Race, the Human Clan, and the Demon Clan are soaked in it. That Evil Energy, that resentment, is more terrifying than anything!” the man who had spoken first said anxiously.

”So what? It’s still better than flying through the air when we already know there’s danger. If we swim through the Blood Sea and there’s no danger, wouldn’t that be a success?” the continually displeased man said with disdain.

”You... So you’re not agreeing with my lead anymore, and have set your mind on going your own separate way?” the man who had spoken first asked coldly.

”That’s right. You were wrong from the beginning. We shouldn’t have listened to you, or we wouldn’t be in such a miserable situation now!” the displeased man said harshly.

The man who had spoken first looked around, then frowned and said, ”In that case, we’ll split into two teams. One team will use Qi Manipulation Flight at high altitude, the other will cross through the Blood Sea. No matter which team succeeds, remember this: you must obtain it and carry forward our inheritance!”

”No need for your nagging. Let’s start!” the displeased man said impatiently.

”Wait, we still have to make preparations...” the woman who had spoken first thought for a moment and said.

”What preparations?” the other woman asked.

”If we all fail, we’ll all die. What about our inheritance then? We have to make preparations for that. So I think we should leave our inheritance behind...” the woman who spoke first said solemnly.

The two men and two women were extremely serious, their faces all heavy. Since they had boarded the Ghost Light Ship and entered this Blood Sea, seven days and seven nights had passed, yet there was still no sign of leaving this place. They couldn’t even find the way back. They had used all kinds of Divine Skills, but still couldn’t escape this Blood Mist region. A sense of death heavily shrouded them. In such a situation, they felt they couldn’t go on waiting; they had to find a way out. To leave meant taking a risk, and taking a risk meant death—so they had to leave a backup!

”We’ll leave all our understandings of the inheritance in this bronze lamp, and let it wait forever for someone fated. Master said, people can die, but inheritance must not be cut off. This is for the sake of those who come after us!” the man who had spoken first said, looking at the bronze lamp.

The other three all nodded. Each of them walked to the bow of the Ghost Light Ship, placed their hand on the bronze lamp, and slowly poured a stream of power into it, while also branding a single sentence they wanted to say inside. This was their preparation for the coming adventure, because no one knew what would happen next. It might be that the methods of all four of them were wrong, and all of them would die here...

The two men and two women split into two teams of one man and one woman each. One team prepared to use Qi Manipulation Flight at high altitude, the other to swim through the Blood Sea. Their faces were grave. They didn’t say much more, their figures flashing as they vanished from the Ghost Light Ship and disappeared into the Blood Mist. Only a few peals of blood-red thunder rang out; nothing else was left behind...

”Did they succeed? Or did they fail? Or did both succeed, or both fail?” Ye Tianchen came back to himself and couldn’t help muttering to himself.

”Brother Ye, Brother Ye, are you all right?” Black and White Impermanence saw Ye Tianchen standing motionless on the unmanned Ghost Light Ship and hurriedly shouted.

”Oh, I’m fine, don’t worry. I’m planning to take another look...” As Ye Tianchen spoke, he saw the bronze lamp hanging at the bow of this Ghost Light Ship. It was the same as the bronze lamp used by those two guys, Black and White Impermanence. The origin of this kind of bronze lamp felt somewhat strange, actually carrying some aura of the too-ancient era. Just what was the origin of this bronze lamp?

Although Ye Tianchen felt it very strange, he had no time to think too much about it. Having seen the scene of the two men and two women who had once been on this Ghost Light Ship, he felt even more that if he and the Black and White Impermanence brothers couldn’t quickly find a way out and leave this Blood Mist region, they would definitely follow the footsteps of the experts who had once been on these four unmanned Ghost Light Ships. That would be an extremely tragic outcome...

Ye Tianchen walked to the bow of this Ghost Light Ship and looked at the bronze lamp hanging there, frowning unconsciously, because there was still some fresh blood inside the bronze lamp. Yet the lamp had long since gone out. Could it be that the two men and two women had extinguished it when they left? But in the scene he had just seen, they had all disappeared from the Ghost Light Ship without extinguishing the Fire on the lamp. Could it have been blown out by the Wind? That didn’t make sense. This bronze lamp itself was extremely strange and burned blood as its fuel. Could Wind blow it out? Ye Tianchen truly found that hard to believe!

After thinking for a moment, Ye Tianchen stretched out his right hand and slowly reached toward the bronze lamp... (To be continued.
